Contemplating Corn

Kettle Corn

Seems all I do these days is go to festivals and contemplate corn.

Last time, it was corn on the cob at the Moses Austin Festival. I was pictured in the newspaper with wannabe Willie Nelson, eating my corn on the cob. This time it was fresh kettle corn (I know you’re jealous) with a real life cowboy in the background at Sprottfest, held on a family’s farm in Sprott, a tiny community in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri.

I’ve been given the a-maize-ing suggestion that I also contemplate – and blog about – some candy corn this fall, so leave me a comment if you’re aware of any particularly notable Missouri candy corn. I need a Saturday afternoon adventure, and I’d be all for something corny. (Aw, shucks…)

Note 1: Thank you @teddymexico and @sbolen for the pun, and thanks to @Famous_E for the candy corn recommendation.

Note 2: I happen to know the man in the black cowboy hat, and he’s truly a cowboy. None of that suburban cowboy nonsense at this small town festival.
